newVideoPlayer("/70s_Opel_Swingers_494.flv", 506, 423,""); Nobody swings quite as hard as German employees of General Motors- in fact, these Opel cats are wailing!

Who knew that the Boeing 747 came with TRON-style digital gauges, just like so many mid-80s GM cars? This 1984 ad lets us know that, Cavalier or Cimarron, GM cars were really pretty much just as high-tech as a jumbo jet. This ad may be a contender for...
